Abstract

PURPOSE: To present a surgical technique and case presentation of internal chandelier-assisted macular buckling for myopic foveoschisis. METHODS: Review of patient clinical features, visual acuity, and optical coherence tomography results after internal chandelier-assisted macular buckling for myopic foveoschisis. RESULTS: A 48-year-old highly myopic woman (axial length 29.85 mm) underwent internal chandelier-assisted macular buckling for myopic foveoschisis with macular detachment. The best-corrected visual acuity improved from 20/150 to 20/40. Postoperative optical coherence tomography confirmed central buckle positioning and demonstrated resolved foveoschisis and macular detachment. There were no complications. CONCLUSION: Internal chandelier-assisted macular buckling is a valuable tool to optimize buckle position and patient outcomes.
